Note 141-1 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Compare D’Orbigny, L’Homme Américain, i. p. 243, Müller, Amer. Urreligionen, p. 51, and Squier, Serpent Symbol in America, p. 111. This is a striking instance of the confusion of ideas introduced by false systems of study, and also of the considerable misapprehension of American mythology which has hitherto prevailed.
